Important Information

• When planning shelters for fattening cattle, the dry bedding area should be at least 1 m² per 100 kg of live weight per animal. Additionally, it is recommended that the walking area be 1 to 2 times larger than this.
• For fattening cattle in free-range systems, it is very important to provide at least 25 cm of feeding space per animal to prevent competition and ensure free access to feed.
• It is essential to provide clean and drinkable water 24 hours a day for fattening cattle.
• Fattening cattle should have access to feed 24 hours a day.
• At the start of fattening, it is appropriate to give 1 kg of concentrate feed per 100 kg of live weight. By the end of fattening, this ratio can be adjusted to 1 kg of feed per 50 kg of live weight at most.
• We should keep our fattening animals in paddocks that are not overcrowded and group them by similar age and live weight as much as possible. We should avoid moving animals between paddocks unless necessary.
• Quarantine paddocks should be available for our fattening animals. We must establish necessary preventive vaccination and treatment programs.
• When purchasing animals, avoid those with growth retardation, abdominal breathing, heavy parasite infestations, or from regions with outbreaks of contagious diseases.
• Combating respiratory problems, which have a high percentage within mandatory slaughter and mortality rates in feedlot operations, is important. Important factors include early detection at the onset of the disease and prompt intervention with an appropriate treatment protocol. To ensure the success of treatment and to closely monitor the response, both temperature monitoring and clinical examinations should be regularly performed. In sick animals, besides necessary examinations and treatments, if the prognosis is poor, a decision for slaughter should be made before excessive live weight loss occurs.
• Vaccinations and antibiotic treatments should ideally be administered 3-4 weeks before transport at the source location of the animals. If this is not possible, these applications should be performed during the quarantine period on the farm.
